Sažetak
This work presents the population of psyhiatric patients treated as schizophrenia in Osijek district. It evaluates as well the success in the treatment of patients younger than 20 during their first hospitalization in the period from 1976 to 1980. In the period from 1976 to 1980, 338 patients from this region were treated for schizophrenia. There were 508 hospitalizations; 6.5% of patients were younger than 20 years. The average number of hospitalization for those younger than 20 was 3.The evaluating success in the treatment of 22 schizophrenics, 4 to 9 years after the first hospitalization;
— the diagnosis has been attested
— the therapy consisted of psychopharmaca, psychotherapy, sociotherapy, and electrostimulative therapy in two cases
— at the time of the inquiry into the psychic state of all patients, four of them were in the state of acute psychosis and needed urgent hospitalization. Four other patients had no therapy and nine were under depot-psychopharmaca. It was also found that 9 patients had disorganized families, and 5 patients were taken care of by the Center for Social Work. One patient retired, two were to be retired on a disability pension, one got a part-time job (four hours a day), and the others were very often on a sick leave. The authors are not satisfied wth the treatment of schizophrenics and are looking forward to better coordination between the family, primary health care and psychiatric service.
